Are you still doing some last-minute Christmas shopping? If you're a gamer, now's a good time to do it because the year-end holiday game sales are back. As usual, you can expect discounts for big studio AAA and indie titles from Steam and PlayStation.

After the surprise drop of new iPads, Apple might have another one for us before the year ends. The latest report suggests the company is gearing up to launch new MacBook Pro models and Mac mini PC next month.

It is quite common knowledge that global PC sales have been decreasing for quite some time now, though you’d be quite surprised at its current state of decline. Get this, worldwide PC shipments have seen the steepest decline since analyst firm Gartner began tracking the market in the mid-1990s with the decline in the third quarter of 2022 representing the fourth consecutive quarter of the year-over-year decline worldwide.

Earlier this year, we reported on how Google launched the Google Play Games for PC which as the name would suggest, allows users to play Android mobile games on Windows PC.

Qualcomm has released a new RF front-end module which supports the next generation Wi-Fi 7, Wi-Fi 6E as well as Bluetooth.

Are you planning to get a gaming desktop PC? In that case, you could go for a setup that includes a powerful 12th Gen Intel® Core™ processor.

If you're into PC gaming, you've likely heard of the new gaming console from Valve - the Steam Deck. I'm personally quite interested in it, as it has even more potential reach than the Nintendo Switch.

Unfortunately, the Steam Deck isn't available in Malaysia and importing one is near impossible. So, what happens if I want to have a handheld gaming PC? The alternative is to get one that runs on Windows. But could these handheld consoles become mainstream PC gaming, and should you buy one? I probably won't, and below are reasons why I think it's a bad idea.

Google has announced the Chrome OS Flex that aims to breathe new life into your old PCs or Macs today. The free software tool allows users to turn their old PCs that no longer receive official updates to Chromebook-like devices. 

Factory reset a locked iPhone can be a hassle. Users would have to connect the device to a PC to perform the necessary action. Now, it looks like you won't have to do that anymore, as the new iOS update is saving you some troubles by allowing users to directly reset a locked iPhone without connecting to any external devices.

Mobile gaming is certainly one of the favourite entertainment things to go to for Malaysians and they should be even happier with this news. During The Game Awards 2021, Google showed a teaser of a Google Play Games app that will allow you to play mobile games on your Windows devices.
